MEMORIES

Today's Film was Gregg Araki's

Mysterious Skin (2005)

This is one of those films that is tough to watch but has a totally redeeming resolution making the travel all worthwhile.

I rented it because I had heard of it and also because it starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt who we enjoyed watching in The Lookout.

You can see how one thing leads to another. Now I want to see more of Araki's films.

This one is about two young men who shared experience with a pedophile.

Their lives parallel each other and eventually they meet.

It is quite an outstanding story.

I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.

You can see why Gordon-Levitt is getting a career out of this early appearance.
